More important than ever to Snap in Proving Grounds

[Dodon]

Seriously, SD is intent on giving us all the "win 8-cube" bounties in the new Alliance mode; I'm not asking anyone to lose on purpose, it isn't Deadpool's Diner, but it's the lowest stakes anyone is willing to pay 8 cubes in, please just snap on Turn 1. Everybody's too protective of their damn cubes to do it in actual ladder/rank.

Snap on Turn 1, play through until turn 6, squeeze out your silly little Destroy/Move/Fill decks for the board bounties, and let's all be on our merry way.

You are right, but we all know where this is going

You can snap, and I will take my time. Then you can concede and find someone to snap round 1. We both win. Or stay that's on you.

I know, I know. Some people just don't value their time. There are twits out there who will actually rope the full timer for 6 straight turns for 8 straight rounds, all for... what, 15 little Conquest medals? And the crazy thing being that they still somehow lose some of those matches.

Like, I thought stupid people were supposed to have hearts of gold, for karma reasons.

Maybe I'm thinking of ugly people.

Honestly, I only play Conquest to finish some harder missions, which always requires some time to do. Plus I'm not in an Alliance, so I don't really care about those missions.

People are playing through the whole match anyway, snapping doesn't stop you from finishing the harder missions.

Considering the lackluster rewards it is not that important. The "best" reward is the variant and you need everyone of your 30 members to do at least 571 points per day. Not worth the outcome.

Yep, that's ridicolous. I've made more than 1000 points the first day and stopped there. No point to continue with those "rewards".

As someone who appreciates the worth of his own time, you were probably snapping on Turn 1 Proving Grounds anyway. Smart men don't need to be convinced to make smart decisions.

Conquest needs an Enema!

What is it with this community and telling others how to play? Reminds me of the DBD community and their fake "rulebook."

In the absolute loosest way possible, I guess.

One is stuff like "don't camp the post, don't tunnel vision a player, you should change the way you play the actual button-pressing and interacting parts of the game" and the other is "you can play the exact cards you want to play and in exactly the ways you want to play them and the actual card game is exactly the same, but you and the other player get your low-stakes game out of the way faster and there's literally zero drawbacks. It benefits both parties."

But sure, we're all our own unique, self-thinking men and nobody should ever tell us what the right way to do things is, even if it's in our own best interest, because we're not sheep, we're all incredibly independent horses who will find our own way to the water, etcetera etcetera.

I read OP as friendly advice, nothing wrong with that.

its better for the whole community to play SG best of 1, more points and tickets into the system is more value for players f2p and payers alike. You're just wrong

Meh... I achieved my Personal rewards 2 days ago and we as an alliance completed the Alliance goals this morning.

I have the most cubes in my alliance (and probably more than many alliance TBH lol) at 2,248 and I can tell you that I didn't earn any of them in Proving Grounds, so with respect OP, your suggestion is pointless and unnecessary ;)
